From an email from Terry Arthun
After months of trying to get to the right people at the City of Irvine California and Lenore Builders (the Great Park) the folks who now own the old MCAS El Toro: I have received the okay for a tour of the grand old base! We will have one of the folks that work for the city as are tour guide. Please let your membership know about this great news... I can tell you they don't do this for everyone. This could be the very last time any of us will have an opportunity to visit MCAS El Toro as it has been scheduled to be torn down and the and the Great Park built in its place. The drive through tour will be Thursday afternoon June 25, 2009. We will have plenty of time to take pictures and swap old war stories. We are so lucky, if it were not for the current economic tsunami the base would be gone by now!
If you haven't made up your mind to go to the reunion yet maybe this will help you decide. Contact Terry or Jim Stewart.
BTW, I'm leaving for Italy in the next few days and won't be back until the 6th of June. If you have any concerns or comments or questions or anecdotes or brain activity during that time just post it on this forum and Jimmy will try to answer it.
